Connecting M-Audio Studiophile BX5a Deluxe

Thread Starter 

I've read several threads discussing which cables are required to hook up the BX5a speakers, but I couldn't find a definitive answer that would be best for me and I don't want to guess and do it wrong. I supposed I mainly just don't understand the difference between balanced and unbalanced setups.

I have the iBasso D10 DAC/Amp connected to my computer. Is it ok to connect the speakers to the D10? What is the best way to connect them?

Thanks for the help, I don't have very much knowledge in this field.

I could still use some help with this. I also realized I may have left a detail out. The DAC/Amp has a headphone input and an input for aux in/out. I'll be plugging the speakers into the aux input.

Thanks.

Use this cable

or use any 3.5mm to RCA cable and get 2 mono RCA to TRS adapters

Connecting it to the aux out will be fine, don't worry about balance connections.
